Well honestly, I have been thinking of something similar - what if you are quicker than the last defender and suddenly you grab his hand, just to make it look like the defender is trying to help himself and catch you and stop you unfairly

hehe one interview for the Czech websites and suddenly you can see here more Czech fans - if you wonder why, I described this forum as the best Chelsea forum on the internet

Sad, but true. Therefore talking about no injuries is pointless. There is always something. Wenger could tell us

Ivanovic. I think he and his performances deserve it. Moreover, it was his birthday yesterday so this would be some kind of a present for him from you

Well actually, this is something you can never predict. You simply never know what could happen. I wish you were right though.

Fingers crossed mate. I really hope it did.

Mate, I did exactly the same thing last year I was coming to London on the first day of the season and somehow managed to get to a pub to watch the second half between us and Hull. You can do that, fingers crossed

Full story

It hurts, I know. But just imagine that after that you will be going, regularly if possible, to CFC games to watch them live from the stands :eyebrows: It is worth it mate, definitely.

Nicely written. Some of our bookings were pointless definitely, I mean yellow cards for Malouda and Terry didn't have to happen at all. Right now there is no need to talk about it but you never know in the future. Being suspended because of mistakes like this is not good. Anyway, it really nice to see a player in our shirt who fancies himself and is confident in going 1vs1 or 1vs2, just like Nando did. Although he didn't score, this was exactly something we had been desperately missing.

lol just watched the highlights and indeed so many times the ball cleared off the line or some great save by their keeper, quality

That's true, indeed. Moreover, it was the first time they got through to the last 16 and played against Chelsea. People would expect a fighting performance etc. Disappointing, true.

Nando was pretty unlucky, it was simply not his scoring day. Anyway it is all about the first goal, once he scores, he will be the same killer we know. Nice to see he got 90 mins, I was quite scared when Drogs was coming on. Great result for the second leg definitely. It has been a long time since their last competitive game, and they made it clear.

Haha we've kept saying this before every game that he is about to score It is all about one goal, hopefully it will come very soon.

Thanks a lot!

Malouda with new hair and with completely new and better performances. Hopefully Branislav Ivanovic's birthday today! A good result for the second leg will do the job for him I believe. Happy Birthday man!

Čech - Bosingwa, Ivanovič, Terry, A. Cole - Essien, Ramires, Lampard - Anelka, Torres, Malouda. Subs: Turnbull, Ferreira, Zhrkov, Mikel, McEachran, Kalou, Drogba

Zhirkov considers leaving Chelsea DailyMail

He scored a winner against Spurs - he did his job But you are right, he was a free-kick specialist, pity it didn't work here.

Horrible question to be honest But the idea of watching Fabregas lifting the Premiership title is giving me a clear answer - Man United (dear, horrible). The thing is, although we are out of the title race, we can make big things in the trophy hunt, as we are yet to face Man United twice. I want to beat them so much but at the same time I fucking want the Arsenal opponent to do the same thing on the day so we don't help them lol.

Right, Carlo is still here and hasn't been sacked yet. But we will know MUCH more after the Copenhagen games which will not be easy, or the following UCL games. It is more than just clear Carlo is here to win the UCL and I am worried what is going to happen in a few weeks or months. If he gets really sacked, I think we would struggle to find a PROPER manager (proper means somebody who would care about Chelsea FC, not about money), as they are all watching what a bad moment and crisis means at CFC.

I was watching it with other football fans and once the final free-kick was given, they all knew Baines was about to score. I just didn't want to trust them but fucking hell. Baines - from hero to zero to hero again. Terrible. Penalties is a nightmare we are continuously experiencing, why on Earth us are such a unlucky side. Cech can't save them all, players need to take part as well. But it was Everton, a team we don't know how to beat, it seems nowadays. The only positive things - our play was not so bad and Lampard scored another goal and is again nearer to the very top scorer

Spot on, unfortunately. Just like some fucking unwritten rule.

At least one away goal will be crucial otherwise there will be hell of a problem and nervous time at the Bridge. Now I really don't care about the performance, as long as we deliver a good result for the second leg. The UCL final at Wembley, enough said.
